Structures & Infrastructure (Including EuroCodes)

The online Naval Architecture Training course aims to provide conversion or refresher training for science and engineering graduates, experienced draughtsmen, and professionals involved in ship design and ship systems. The course covers a broad understanding of ship behavior under various conditions, including basic ship definitions, hull girder components, hydrostatics, and hydrodynamics. It is designed for engineers and research scientists seeking to comprehend ship behavior at sea, with a focus on theory and practice. The course includes lectures on stability, damage survivability, resistance, propulsion, and sea-keeping, delivered by experienced industry professionals over a 3-day duration.

The Online Retaining Walls EC7 Training course is designed for geotechnical engineers, engineering geologists, and graduate civil and structural engineers looking to enhance their understanding and skills in designing retaining walls to Eurocode 7 standards. The course covers topics such as wall types, failure modes, soil mechanics principles, Eurocodes, and geotechnical design requirements. Led by an experienced chartered engineer, the one-day course includes lectures, discussions, and tutorial questions to reinforce learning.

The Online Bridge Inspection Training course is designed to equip participants with the knowledge needed to plan and conduct inspections on road and highway structures. Aimed at staff involved in bridge inspections, the course covers topics such as DMRB requirements, scheduling inspections, common defects, and inspection reporting. The virtual format using Microsoft Teams allows for sharing best practices and refreshing knowledge on current standards in a one-day session.

The Online Design of Deep Foundations Training course focuses on providing delegates with a detailed understanding of designing deep foundations according to Eurocode 7. The course covers practical aspects of design, including embedded retaining walls, piles, and anchors. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to apply Eurocode 7 principles to real-world design scenarios. The course is suitable for geotechnical engineers, civil engineers, and others involved in deep foundation design. Dr. Andrew Bond, an expert in Eurocode 7, leads the course, which can be taken in-person or online.

The Online Asphalt Training course is designed for individuals working in civil engineering or building sites, focusing on those with little to no experience in asphalt work. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of asphalt use, selection, problem identification, and resolution on-site. The course covers various aspects such as asphalt technology, production, quality control, site preparation, paving, compaction, and testing. Upon completion, delegates will be equipped to ensure durable and high-quality asphalt works. The course includes a free one-year email service for asphalt queries.

The Online Advanced Design of Ship Structures course focuses on the first principle design of ship structures, including advanced analysis procedures for beams and plates. It covers the ultimate strength of hull girders, progressive collapse analysis, and common structural rules. The course is designed for engineers, scientists, and personnel from ship-related industries, offering a balance of theory and practice. Lectures cover topics such as deterministic and probabilistic design, hull girder strength, and reliability-based design. The course is led by Professor Purnendu Das and spans two days.

The Pavement Design Training course provides an essential introduction to the Design Manual for Roads & Bridges (DMRB) standards in the UK. It focuses on the latest revisions of key standards, covering traffic assessment, pavement foundations, construction, and surface materials. The course aims to equip civil, highway, pavement, and transportation engineers with the knowledge and confidence to undertake pavement designs effectively. Led by an expert in asphalt and pavement engineering, the one-day training session covers principles of pavement design, asphalt technology, traffic loading assessment, foundation design, and material selection for highway pavements.

The Online Hydroelasticity of Ship and Offshore Structure Training course focuses on the study of ship hydroelasticity for large vessels, emphasizing the importance of predicting wave-induced loads and vessel responses for designing and calculating large vessels' structures. The course targets engineers, scientists, ship management personnel, oil companies, classification societies, and shipbuilders. It covers topics such as basic hydrodynamics, seakeeping, and various methods for addressing hydroelasticity theory over a 2-day duration. Led by Dr. Ranadev Datta, the course offers a balance of theory and practice for practical application in the field.
